Penciled on back of photoprints: "Photo taken by Mr. Marchington of Idaho Springs. Taken early in the morning before the sun was on the streets. Date ca. 1903" and "The M̀iner' bldg was razed in 1909 - Is it on this picture?" Typewritten on paper glued to back of photoprint: "This picture of Georgetown was taken by Mr. Marchington, of Idaho Springs. It was taken early in the morning before the sun was shining on the streets. The date is believed to be about 1903. The exact day may be determined from the fact that upon the same day two men were tried and convicted at Georgetown for the killing of a Chinaman in his hut a mile or so below Idaho Springs. N. L. Patterson, June 13, 1926."; R7100013177
